Quote by Gilbert K. Chesterton
When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?
Summary
This quote reflects on the idea that as children, we express gratitude when we receive gifts or blessings from people, such as the presents in our Christmas stockings. However, we often take for granted the numerous gifts and blessings we receive from God, such as the ability to walk or have legs. It questions why we may be quick to acknowledge human generosity, but not extend the same gratitude to a higher power for the fundamental and extraordinary things we possess in life.
